    Prusik cord by the foot question..

    Harbor Freight has a good electtic Hot Knife. I use it to cut ropes and melt the ends over. Works pretty good.

    Replace Sling on Big Shot Launcher

    I didn't invent any of this. It's pieced together from different ideas I've seen.

    Replace Sling on Big Shot Launcher

    Yeah. Bottom. I made a capture and release for mine. Makes a world of difference in ease of use and accuracy.

    Carritool advice...From my tree motion user's.

    Be careful about the Caritool. If you get in a hurry or are wearing a coat or longshirt that hangs over the saddle, and you accidentally clip your lanyard into the caritool, you will fall. So don't install it too close to your side D's.

    Carritool advice...From my tree motion user's.

    I keep a Caritool on my left side for biners and quickies. I use a Transporter on the right side for the saw. Used to have a Caritool on the saw side but it was too flimsy for anything bigger than a top handle.

    Would you climb this horror movie backdrop?

    I have yet to see a tree come back to life after being dead. So there's no excuse putting off the inevitable. Why people wait for several years to have a bad tree cut is beyond me. It only gets more expensive. If it's not a danger to your property then let them reap the effects of the train...

    Chainsaw lanyard: yea or nay?

    I always use one. Climbing or bucket. A 200T hitting someone from 70 ft wouldn't be good. Past experience tells me that whenever I say I've never done something, better expect it to happen soon.

    ?Kevlar kite string for throw line?

    I left carpeners twine in a tree for 3 months this past summer. It totally rotted away. There were little pink pieces about 6 inches long everywhere. It was as brittle as a cracker.

    ?Kevlar kite string for throw line?

    A Safebloc would be nice. A dedicated hole to hang it from and two other holes that with a nice bend radius.

    ?Kevlar kite string for throw line?

    I know rigging rings aren't "rated" for life support but they would handle a great deal more than probably any of our climbing gear would. An X large rigging ring would be nice in that position. If it were rated for life support. Which they aren't.

    Bucket truck next to home foundation

    Those dummies at Altec need to get their terminology right. They call them outriggers all throughout their maintenance and owners manuals. If I'm on level ground it usually doesn't take much pressure. I don't have that luxury very often since we work in the hills quite a bit. So I have to...
